Spoolscroll takes one long screenshot of anything you can scroll. Instead of tapping the shutter over and over and hoping the pieces line up, it records your screen while you scroll, then stitches every frame into a single tall image on your iPhone. HOW IT WORKS 1. Tap the capture button and confirm in the iOS sheet. 2. Switch to whatever you want to keep: a feed, a chat, a receipt, a long article. 3. Scroll at your own pace, as far as you like. The red clock means it is recording. 4. Tap the clock to stop. The image is stitched in seconds and lands in your Library. ANY APP YOU CAN SCROLL It captures the screen, not a web page, so it is not limited to the browser. Feeds, chats, receipts, settings, long articles: if it scrolls, it stitches. CONTINUOUS, NOT CLICK-CLICK-CLICK One recording, one image. Nothing to line up by hand, no missing rows where two screenshots did not quite overlap, and no losing your place halfway down a long thread. HONEST OUTPUT Every frame is aligned and checked for tears and duplicates before it reaches the image. Torn and repeated frames are dropped rather than blended. Where two frames cannot be joined with confidence you get a small grey bar that says so. Never a silent gap, never invented pixels. YOUR LIBRARY Finished captures land in your Library, labelled with the app they came from. Rename them, copy them, share them, save them to Photos, or delete them whenever you like. Captures that did not finish are shown plainly rather than quietly disappearing. NOTHING LEAVES YOUR IPHONE A screen recording is about as personal as data gets, so Spoolscroll is built with no way of seeing it. - No servers. The app makes no network requests of its own. - No account, no ads and no analytics. - Frames are deleted once the stitch is done. - Results stay in the app and are excluded from backups. - Photos is only touched when you tap Save, with add-only permission. FREE TO USE, ONE PAYMENT FOR MORE Spoolscroll is free, with shorter captures. If you need the really long scrolls, a single one-time purchase unlocks longer recordings. No subscription, no account, nothing to cancel. REQUIREMENTS Any iPhone running iOS 18 or later. Apps that deliberately block screen recording, such as banking apps and DRM-protected video, show black frames that no app can recover.

A long page never fits in one screenshot. Pick the screenshots you already took, or record your screen while you scroll. Either way, Scroll Stitch joins them into one tall image, right on your iPhone. HOW IT WORKS โ€” FROM SCREENSHOTS 1. Take screenshots as you scroll, or use ones you already have. 2. Pick them in the app, or share them to Scroll Stitch from Photos. 3. Check the order โ€” they are joined in the order you picked them, and one tap re-sorts them by capture time. 4. Save the long image, share it, or keep it in the app. HOW IT WORKS โ€” FROM A SCREEN RECORDING 1. Record your screen while scrolling about half a screen at a time, pausing for about half a second at each stop. Each screen needs to overlap the previous one a little. 2. Import the recording, or share it to Scroll Stitch from Photos โ€” it will be waiting the next time you open the app. 3. Mark the scrolling area so fixed headers and toolbars do not repeat. 4. Review the detected frames โ€” remove ones you do not want, or add a missed frame in between. 5. Save the long image or share it anywhere. BUILT FOR LONG CONTENT - Chat and message threads - Order histories and receipts - Articles, recipes, and long notes - App screens for bug reports and documentation - Settings screens and dashboards YOU STAY IN CONTROL Scroll Stitch finds the overlapping parts and joins them, but depending on the capture a seam can still come out wrong. So you are never stuck with what it produces. Any seam can be adjusted by hand, and a header or footer that repeats at a seam can be trimmed away, without starting the whole thing over. Very fast flicks and screens with video playing are the hardest to align, and that is exactly where hand-tuning a seam earns its keep. KEEP RESULTS IN THE APP A long capture often holds things you would not want anyone else to see, so results do not have to go into your photo library at all. Save one into a group you name, open it again anytime however long it is, and share it out when you need it. Keeping a result does not use up a free export โ€” only sharing one does. EVERYTHING STAYS ON YOUR IPHONE Every step happens on your device. Your screenshots and recordings are never uploaded, and the app collects no data at all. There are no accounts and no sign-in. FREE TO TRY, ONE-TIME UNLOCK The first 5 exports are free, with every feature available. After that, a single purchase removes the limit forever. No subscription.
